1. REVIEW �F SECOND DRAF7 OF PROP05ED ORDINANCE TO REPLACE CHAPTER 211
PL TTING BY CHAPTER 2, SUBDIVISION:
Mr. Boardman stated the Planning Comnission is not required to take any action
on anything other than Section 205 of the City Code; however, Staff did want to
bring this to the Planning Commission for their review and comments prior to its
going to the City Co uicil on August 16.
Mr. Boardman stated the Platting Ordinance is controlled somewhat by Minnesota
State Statutes on platting. There were some changes that were recomnended by
the State Statutes, and with those in mind, Staff went through the platting
ordinance. He stated Staff is in the process of going through all the codes,
the platting ordinace being one of those ordinances. While they were making
modifications according to the state law and modifications according to the zero
lot line, they went through the rest of the ordinance and tried to clean up the
language so it was easier to read and easier to clarify what a subdivision is.
They are saying a subdivision is any platting of land, any registered ]and survey.
or any lot split. He stated that in the old ordinance, there was a lot of con-
fusion in the language, so they tried to set it up in an order where they first
have some related definiti�ns, and, secondly, have a 7ay-out of what a subdivision
is and under what condit:ons are required to follow this ordinance es far as a
subdivision.
Mr. Boardman stated that before, any time anyone split a parcel of land that
was under 2� acres, that person was required to go through a platting process.
According to state law, that has been changed to 5 acres on any commercial/
industrial property and 20 acres or larger on any residential property.
PLANNING CON�IISSION MEETING, AUGUST 4, 1982 PA6E 2
Ms. Schnabel stated that under "Lot Split" on page 211-05, she noticed the
elimination of the notification of adjacent neighbors. It seemed to her that
a lot split sometimes has a very great impact on adjacent neighb�rs.
Mr. Boardman stated that under state law, a public hearing is not required for
a lot split.
Ms. Schnabel stated she thought there should be notification on a lat sp]it for
the neighbors' protection.
Mr. Boardman stated if a lot split doesn't meet City Code, it requires a variance,
and a variance requires notification. But if the lot split meets all the qualifi-
cations of the City Code, then the question is why should a lot split affect the
neighbors and why should there be a notification to the residents?
Ms. Schnabel stated she thought with a lot split they double the neighborhood
density on that particu]ar parcel of land, and it happens unbeknownst to the
existing neighbors. She just felt that notification to the neighbors would be
the proper thing to do.
Mr. Svanda stated that in looking at the timing of the p]atting process, they
are looking at a minimum of six months to go through the process. He felt that
process was too long.
Mr. Boardman stated state ]aw allows them 120 days to go through the process.
Mr. Svanda stated he would just like t� see that process a little shorter, just
to speed it up for the project propoer who typically has a lot at stake. He felt
that the more time you allow, the more time you take.
Ms. Schnabel noted that under "Application" on page 217-08, no fee was mentioned.
Was there a plat filing fee?
Mr, Boardman stated there is a fee. He stated he would check into that and be
sure that it is stated somewhere in the ordinance. � �
Mr. Boardman stated there are sane modifications being done right now to the
Platting Ordinance. He stated they have gone through and relooked at the pro-
visions that have all been crossed out in this draft. The reason they relooked
at the provisions was because none of these provisions are in the state code,
and these provisions are things the City of Fridley requires. He states some
of these provisions wil7 be put back in; however, they did leave out "alleys" as
they are not trying to promote alleys.
Mr. Boardman stated he would give the C�mmission mem6ers a fina] copy of the
ordinance after the City Counci7 reviews it and gives their final approval.

2. DISCUSSION OF YIRGIL HERRICK'S MEMORANDUM ON SPECIAL USE PERMIT VARIANCES
nr�nretur rueurrc.
Ms. 5chnabel stated one of the key statements in Mr, Herrick's memo af Aug. 2, 7979,
that the Planning Cortmission must remember when they are recommending approval
or denial of a special use permit was on page 3, bottom of page:
"Where zoning ordinance expressly authorizes a proposed use by special
use permit in the discretion of the governing mody of a municipality,
a denial of the permit must be for reasons reldted to public health,
safety, and general welfare."
Ms. Schnabet highlighted the following statements from Mr. Herrick's memo:
Page 4-"In short, a denial would be arbitrary, if it is established that
all of the standards specified by the ordinance as a condition to
granting the permit have been met."
"Where a special use permit is issued subject to conditions, the
conditions must conform to the following standards: '...to protect
the public health, safety, convenience and welfare, or to avoid
traffic congestion or hazard, �r ather dangers, or to promote
conformity of a proposed use with the character of the adjoining
property and uses, and the district as a whole, or to protect such
character.' Section 205.196."
Page 5-"The appiicant for a special use permit has the burden of proving
that the proposed use would meet the standards required by the
ordinance for issuance of a speciat use permit."
Page 6-"Failure of governing body to record contemporaneously the facts
and legally sufficient reas�ns for its denia7 of special use per-
mits constitutes a prima facie showing of arbitrariness in the
denia7."
Under II. Variance:
Page 8-"The applicant has the burden of proving undue hardship due to
unique circumstances and that the granting of a variance will be
in keeping with the spirit and intent of the zoning ordinance.
The Court of Zy]ka v. City of Crystal, supra, noted that an appli-
cant for a variance has a much heavier burden of proof than an
appticant for a special use permit."
Under III. Rezoning:
Page 11 -"A rezoning is reasonable and not arbitrary when it has a reason-
abie relationship to the promotion of the public health, safety,
order, or welfare."
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 4 1982 PAGE 4
"5imilarly, a rezoning classification is not disc�iminatory if
is reasonab]y based in the public policy to be served."
"A rezoning is confiscatary where it results in the taking of a
private property right for a pub7ic purpose without due process
and without compensation."
Page 72 -"Rezonings, therefore, have been challenged on the ground that
property areas in the area affected invested in their property in
reliance upon its then existing zoning as well as upon the zoning
classification in force in neighboring properties or in neighbor-
ing areas, and that a rezoning which changes that zoning depreciates
the value of the land and is unconstitutional as confiscatory.
There is, however, no merit to this contention."

1. DIRECTOR'S REPORT:
: a. Springbrook Nature Center Foundation
Dr. Boudreau stated the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation recently
put on a fine breakfast meeting to honor Pine Cone Nursery for the
donation of 400 shrubs to help beautify the park. The foundation also
gave Pine Cone Nursery an attractive plaque, He stated he thought the
people from the nursery really appreciated the little extra recognition
i
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING AUGUST 3 1982 PAGE 2
shown them for their donation. and made favorable �omnents, not only
about Springbrook Nature Center, but about the Fridtey park systen iR
general.
Ms. Seeger stated that after the donation, Pine Cone Nursery sent staff
out to help plant the shrubs at different levels and later sent out
instructions on how to insure the growth and health of the shrubs. She
stated it was definitely an exceptiona] gift.
Mr. Kondrick stated he thought it would be a nice gesture for the
Commission to also send Pine Cone Nursery a thank-you letter.
b. Cortmunity Park Update
Dr. Boudreau stated the irrigation is now in and they are backfilling.
They should be putting the seed in next Monday, and they are working on
the lighting.
Dr. Boudreau stated a local architect, Don Pertinen, has consented to
do the work on a building that might go into the center of the community
park. Mr. Pertinen has designed a rough model of what he has envisioned
that building ta look like. The building would be two levels, with the
lower level being restrooms, concessionaire, storage, and t�e upper level
being open for storage, scorekeepers and announcers, and a small meeting
room. He stated this model was just an idea and would be changed and
refined.
Dr. Boudreau stated he would keep the Correnission informed of things as
they happen.
2. NEW BUSINESS:
a. Springbrook Fee Policy
Dr. Boudreau stated that at the last meeting, Staff was directed to respond
to Councilman Bob Barnette concerning his questions about the operation and
maintenance costs and policies for Springbrook Nature Center. He stated
his memo dated July 12, 1982, to Mr. Qureshi for distribution to the City
Council members re: "Fee Policy at Springbrook Nature Center" was in answer
to some of Mr. Barnette's questions.
Dr. Boudreau stated that, as far as a fee policy, he felt the Parks &
Recreation Comnission should make sane recommendation to City Council on
whether or not tfiey want a fee policy esiablished for the use of ihe
= Springbrook Nature Center.
Dr. Boudreau stated that right now they have a request fran a school in
northern Anoka County that is requesting an on-site canmitment fran
Siah St. Clair for two hours each week for ten weeks. Do they or do they
not charge this school for this type of staff commitment? Or, do th�
even do that kind of service2
PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 3, 1982 PAGE 3
Ms. Schreiner stated she felt very strongly that the City of Fridley
cannot support these groups outside the City. However, she realized
it was very difficult with the school district boundary lines unless
they pro-rate the boundary lines according to the num6er of Fridley
children registered.
Ms. Seeger stated that originally the schaols had indicated they would
help with the nature center, and then they backed off. Actually, the
nature center received regional funding, but tfiose regional funds were
not for staff. Staffing was the area in which the school districts were
told that help was needed.
Mr. Kondrick stated that as far as being a regianal park, anyone can
drive to the park and see it at no charge, but he thought it was only
right that those who request a scheduled program be cfiarged a program
fee of some kind.
Dr. Boudreau stated the fee policy they suggest the City Council establish
has ta be far more reaching t6an just the sc600l population,as there are
other groups the City is serving also. He stated there were four possi-
bilities:
1. Continue as they have with no fee or charge on a first-come,
first-serve basis.
2. Establish a flat fee per hour.
3. Adopt a per person charge.
4. Establish a flat fee for service to all four schoot districts
in Fridley at "x" amount of dol7ars per year, pro-rating out
each school district.
Ms. Schreiner stated that, because the schools are in a bind now finan-
cially, she thought �2 or q3 was more feasible, and #4 could be considered
for the future.
Mr. Allen and Ms. Schreiner felt there should be a different rate for
other groups, private or comnercial, or another city.
The Commission members concurred with the first paragraph, second page,
of Dr. Boudreau's memo to Mr. Qureshi regarding the resident/non-resident
status (with some modifications): "For the purposes of resident/non-
resident status, we would recommend that groups fran schools within the
City limits of Fridley (Districts ll, 13 14, and 16) or schools with
Fridley students attending tfiat educationa center � g�r�a��d�e�_s� �K�-12) and
groups associated with these schools, would all 6e consi�ident
groups. All other school groups would be considered non-residents."
Dr. Boudreau stated if they decide to go with fees, there should be a
resident fee of $1 per person for one session (approx. 1-12 hr, in length).
The resident would have first priority on the use of the nature center
facility. The non-resident or profit-making organization should be
charged $2 per person and have secondary priority on use of the facility.
�
PARKS & RECREATION COMMiSSION MEETING, AtlGUST 3; 1982 PAGE 4
Mr. Yaung and Ms. Schreiner stated they thought $2 per person was too
high and felt $1.5U per person was more reasonable.
Dr. Boudreau asked if civic groups within Fridley were to be considered
as resident groups and charged the resident fee.
Ms. Seeger stated she was not willing to set a charge for civic groups
as civic groups contribute so much to the City in donations and other
contributions.
Ms. Schreiner stated when staff time is involved in programninq, she
felt people should not be offended when they are required to help pay
for that staff time.
Mr. Kondrick agreed with Ms. Schreiner.
MOTION BY MS. SCXRSINER� SECONDED BY MR. YOUNG� TXAT FOR THE PURPOSES
OF RESIDfiNT/NON-RESIDENT STATUS� THE PARKS & RECREATSON COMMISSION
RECOMMENDS TO CITY CDUNCIL THAT GROUPS FROM SCHODLS WITHIN THE CITY
LIMITS OF FRZDLEY (SCHOOL DISTRICTS 12� I3� 14, AND I6) OR SCHOOLS
WITH FRIDLEY STUDSNTS ATTENDING THAT SDUCATSONAL CENTER (GRADES K=I2)
AND GROUPS ASSOCSATED WZTN THESE SCHODLS� WOU7.� ALL BE CONSID�'it�'D
RESIDENT GROUPS. ALL OTHER SC800L GROUPS WOIILII BE CONSID,�RED NON-
RESIDENTS. TNEY RECOMMEND THAT RESIDENT GROUPS BE CHARGED $I PER PERSON
AND BE GIVEN TOP PRIORITY ON THE USE OF THE SPRINGBRDOK NATURE CENTER
FACILITY� AND NON-RESIDENT GROUPS BE CHARGED $2.50 PER PERSON AND GSVEN
SBCOND PRIORSTY ON THE USE OF THE SPRINGBROOK NATURE CENTER FACILITY.
UPON R VOZCE VOTE, ALL VOTING RY&� CXRIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE
MOTSON CARRIED UNANZMOUSLY.
3. OLD BUSINESS:
a. Northeast Chamber & City Band funding
Dr. Boudreau stated that at the last meeting, the Commission had
requested further information on this subject. They had requested a
list of the members of both groups, the amount of funding being requested,
and what organizational groups the City Council had decided not to fund.
He stated the Comnission members had a list of the members of the North-
east Chamber Ensemble and the City Band. The N�rtheast Chamber was
requesting $7,700 from the City of fridley, and the City Band was request-
ing $2,000 from the City of Fridley.
' Dr. Boudreau stated the five organizations the City Council had decided
not to fund were the Central Center for Family Resources, North Suburban
Family Services Center, Southern Anoka Community Assistance, The Alexan-
dra House, and the Fridley Creative Play Center.
PARKS & RECREATION COFAtISSION MEETIN6 AUGU57 3 1982 PAGE 5
Mr. Young stated that at the Planning Comnission meeting of July 14,
that commission went on record reco�nending to City Council that funding
only be provided to S.A.C.A., the Alexandra House, and Central Center
for Family Resources.
Mr. Kondrick stated that recommendation came about because of �he exten-
sive research done by the Human Resources Commission. He stated he felt
Mr. Young had presented a good moral issue regarding the fact that if
five needy organizations have been denied funding, the City Counci7
should also consider the denial of funding to the Fridley City Band and
the Northeast Chamber Ensemble.
Ms. Schreiner stated she had a hard time understanding why children have
to pay for city programning; yet the people interested in playing in a
band or orchestra are not charged to participate in something they want
to do. It just isn't consistent. Just because the City Band and the
Northeast Chamber Ensemble have always been funded doesn't mean it ha�
to continue.
Dr. Boudreau stated that for the $2,000 the City funds the City Band,
the band cor�nits to putting on six band concerns for the Parks & Recreation
Department during the summer.
Ms. Schreiner stated it was her feeling the band members and orchestra
members should be asked to he]p subsidize their directors' salaries to
a certain extent, especially if the City Council has decided not to fund
any needy organizations. If the City Council does go along with the
funding of the City Band and the Northeast Chamber Ensemble, then she felt
the City's priorities were really mixed up.
Dr. Boudreau stated it was Staff's question of why should Fridley have
the full brunt of the cost of these two groups when the memberships are
so widespread.
Ms. Seeger stated she liked the idea of having a city band. She stated
the City 8and contributes much to the City of Frid]ey. She felt there
was a void and a shortage of cultural kinds of t�ings in the community,
and she would hate to discourage this type of group.
Ms. Schreiner stated that before the Corrmission makes any recommendations,
sre would like to request one additional piece of information, and that
was to find out what the total expenses are for the year for each of
these groups and how much the members actually contribute to their group.
� MOTION 8Y MS. SCHREINER� SECONDED BY .�II2, YOUNG� TO REQUEST STAFF TO
OBTASN INFORMATION ON THE TOTAL COSTS OF WHAT TXE MEMBERS OF THE CITY BAND

Dr. Boudreau stated he would invite Ross Larson, President of the
fridley City Band, and Betty 3cott, Manager of the Northeast Chamber
Ens�nble, to the next Commission meeting to dTSCUSS and answer the
Carrnission's questions.
b. Meeting Dates & Times
After sane discussion, the Parks & Recreation Comnission members
decided to change their meeting date from the first Tuesday of each
month to the Monday directly preceding the second Planning Commission
meeting.
Dr. Boudreau stated he would compile a list of the meeting dates for
the remainder of the year and mail these to the Canmission members.

4. OTHER BUSINESS:
a. Letter from John & Darlene Zurawski, 6767 - 7th St. N.E.
Dr, Boudreau stated John & Darlene Zurawski's home is on the north
side of Terrace Park. Their home was apparently torn down in the
tornado, and when it was rebuilt, no one bothered to shoot the property
line so the house is very close to the park property line. He stated
Mr. & Mrs. Zurawski want to extend their present structure to include
a family room. When the family room is added on, the overhang will
take up about 2-3 feet and wi71 be hanging out onto park property.
Mr. & Mrs. Zurawski would like to purchase 3 ft. of park property, as
ttey feel their addition wi71 improve the value of their 1and:and wou7d
not interfere with park activ9ties.
Dr. Boudreau stated he has gone out with Curt Dahlberg and looked at
' the property. They feel that 2-3 feet x 155 feet back will not affect
the intended use of the park iayout.

UPON A VOZCE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON VAN DAN DBCLARED THE HOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
1. NO FAULT GRIEYANCE PROCEDURE - DISCUSSION:
Mr. Treuenfels stated that since two of the five Comnission members were not
present, it would be better to wait to make the decision on the No-Fault Grievance
Procedure when all the Canmission members were present; however, he would like
to know if the other two Commission members were in favor or opposed to the
No-Fault Grievance Procedure.
Mr. Boergerhoff stated he had reviewed the No-Fault Grievance Procedure materials.
He stated he had not been able to attend the training session, so he did not feel
he was in the position at this time to participate in a grievance committee,
shou7d one be formed, but the Comnission had his support in any way he could be
of assistance.
Ms. van Dan stated there was no reason why they couldn't have additional training
sessions in the future, not only for other carmission members, but possibly for
other interested citiaens. She vauld like to see a little more involvement fran
other people in the cortmanity.
Ms. van Dan stated she thought maybe the Commission should present this to the
City Council at one of their conference meetings to see if the City Council was
even interested in the No-Fault Grievance Procedure.
MUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION �EETIN6, AUGUST 5; 1982 PAGE 2
Mr. Treuenfels stated one important question that will be asked is: How much
staff time will be involved? He stated he fett the committee could probab7y
do most of the xork. The cortunittee cauld certain]y take care of the quarterly
report that has to be filed with the State.
Ms. van Dan stated that if they had a large enough group of enthusiastic volun-
teers from the community, the typing and everything could be handled by the
comnittee, except for the staff ]iaison.
Mr. Treuenfels stated a staff person wou7d not have to be present at any of the
meetings between the grievant and the respondent. He t�ought staff involvement
would be very minimal. Staff couTd help with pubticity. He stated expenses
would be another factor, but he thought the co�nittee could do most of the work.
As far as a meeting p7ace, they may have to utilize City Ha11 or use the library.
He stated they have looked at the lega] aspects, and that was one thing they
would have to be careful about. They would need a release form that the grievant
and respondent would sign. The City Attorney would have to review the form that
is already provided by the State Department of Human Rights.
Ms. van Dan stated she was very interested in the No-Fault Grievance Procedure
and she knew both Mr. Goodspeed and Ms. Noble had expressed interest,
Mr. Treuenfels recommended that the other tva Canmission members be nOtified
that a decision would be made on the No-Fau7t Grievance Procedure at the next
meeting. If any of the Conmissioners cannot attend that meeting, they shou]d
let their feelings be known so the Commission can make a motion at the next
meeting.

Ms. Cayan stated she would try to get this item on the City Counci] conference
meeting agenda in September.
Mr. Treuenfels stated that at the last meeting, the Commission passed a motion
recommending the City of Fridley officiaily join the League of Human Rights
Commissions.
Ms. Cayan stated she has talked to the people from the League and they are in
the process of refiguring the dues for fridtey. The amount should be between
$105-110. She stated she is waiting for the paperwork along with the application.
She has talked to Mr. Boardman, and that fee can be taken out of the Commission's
budget,
2. HANDICAP SURVEY UPDATE - LYNN BOERGERNOFF:
Mr. Boergerhoff stated the Cortmission members had a draft of the final report
of the information received from the handicap survey. He stated these are the
results the best they understand them from the survey that was done of the city
residents.
HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETIN6, AUGUST 5, 1982 PAGE 3
Mr. Treuenfels asked Mr. Boergerhoff if he would recarenend any actions to be
taken by the Human Resources Comnission, the Planning Commission; or the City
Council.
Mr. Boergerhoff stated the Accessibility Survey Cortanittee can be supported by
the information in this report in terms of the barriers people reported
encountering, and some inferences about barriers within their own homes and
what steps could be taken. Some support by the International Year of Disabled
Persons Committee and the Human Resources Commission might be directed toward
househotds that could receive incane assistance through retrofit since several
househo]ds did indicate both a need for retrofitting and financial assistance.
He stated Ms. Cayan has directed some attention to that aiready.
Ms. Cayan stated the City of fridley has just received $206,000 of comnunity
development block grant monies, and $40,000 of that is being directed toward
retrofit grants. She stated she is just getting the publicity out on it now.
She stated the CAP Agency wi]1 be administering the program for the City, and
they have put a cap of $9,000 per grant which sAould be enough to do atl the
basic types of retrofitting and also some rehab work. The CAP Agency indicated
that E9,000 should take care of a71 the costs, other than installing an elevator,
so they shoutd be ab3e to retrofit approximate7y five homes.
Mr. Boergerhoff stated all the information in the report canes fran 121 persons
identified as disabled in the whote city. He stated he will rewrite this report
and have the final form ready for the Comnission to review at their next meeting.
Ms. van Dan stated the IYDP Canmittee has put together a fantastic piece of
information, and she is looking forward to reviewing the report. She stated
she felt it would be appropriate for the IYDP Committee and Human Resources
Comnission to send a letter of appreciation to Dr. Lui of the State Division
of Vocational Rehab and George Cree1 of Health Central.

HUMAN RESOURCES COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 5, 1982 PAGE 4
Ms. Cayan stated they have been given sane volunteer time from a professional
corrmercial artist, who wil] be doing the cover design. Depending upon what the
cover tooks like, they may use it for the cover on the report Mr. Boergerhoff
is putting together and also for the 504 study being put together by
Ju1ee Quarve-Peterson, so there is a comnon theme on all their handicapped-
oriented publications.
Ms. Cayan stated the target date for the actual completion of the writing of
the guidebook is the end of August. Depending upon the availability of monies,
it should be available by the end of Sept./early Oct.

1. PUBLTC HEARING: REZONING RE UEST, ZOA #82-04, BY G. W. PASCHKE: Rezone
from �-1 light in ustria areas to C-2 general 6usiness areas}, Lots
4 and 5, Block 3, University Industrial Park, to be part of a new shopping
area on University Avenue, the same being 7941 and 7981 Rancfiers Road N.E.
MOTION BY MR. SABA� SEC Q'DED BY MR. SVANDA� TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON
ZOA #82-04 BY G. W. PASCHKE.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRWOMAN SCHNASEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC
HEARING OPEN AT 7:38 P.M.
Mr. Boardman stated Lots 4 and 5 are the lots in question, Lots 6, 7, and 8
are presently zoned C-2. The proposal being submitted is actually for two
commercial buildings; therefore, Mr, Paschke is requestinq that Lots 4 and 5
be rezoned to C-2 to make one contiguous parcel for the deve7opment of the
buildings.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 18 1982 PAGE 2
Mr. Boardman stated there are several things to consider, which are not necessarily
a consideration of the rezoning; however, when they consider development on Lots 4
and 7, across Rancher's Road in Block 4, there is a 100 ft. setback requirement
on industrial whQn it is across from a commercial district. In this situation
where there is only a 152 ft.-deep lot, there will probably be variance requests
for setbacks. He stated variances were granted with the plat on Lot 7 and another
lot up in the corner. When the plat was approved, the variance on the setback
was reduced to 35 ft. because it was zoned comnercial.
Mr. Boardman stated the drainage is pretty well being handled. The drainage right
now is al] flowing to the back lots where there is a holding pond that was
established for the entire development.

Mr. Oquist stated this request to have all the lots on the south end zoned commer-
cial seemed reasonab]e. When it was platted, they did allow the variance to the
property across the.street to allow for a 35 ft, setback.
Ms. Schnabel stated she also thought the initial planning was appropriate for this
area.

PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES,
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAZRWOMAN SCHNABSL DECLARED THE MOTION
C.ARRIED UNANIMDUSLY.
Mr. Kondrick stated the Parks & Recreation Commissiofi made a motion on page 4
to the City Council regarding fee schedules, recommending that "groups from
schools within the city limits of Fridley (School Dist. 11, 13, T4, and 76) or
schools with Fridley students attending that educational center (Grades K-72)
and groups associated with these scfiools would all be considered resident groups.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, AUGUST 18, 1982 PAGE 3
All other school groups would be considered non-residenis. Resident groups to
be charged $1.00 per person and given top priority on the use of Springbrook
Nature Center and non-resident groups to be cAarged $1.50 per person and given
second priority.°
Ms. Gabel stated she had a real problem with one governmental agency paying
another governmental agency, 'She realized the City and the schools are in a
financial bind, but she did not see how one governmenta7 agency charging another
governmental agency solved anything. She recognized the problem, but she did
not like this solution to that problem,
Mr. Oquist stated he understood what Ms. Gabel was saying, but he did not have
a problem with it. He stated they see that in industry all the time, where one
division funds another division to do work,even though the money is all cominq
out of the same corporate hat.
Ms. Gabe7 stated the difference is that private industry is not coming out of
the taxpayer's pocket.
Mr. Svanda asked if there was a break for people or children who could not afford
to pay the user's fee.
Mr. Kondrick stated no one would be denied because of inability to pay.
Ms. Gabel stated sometimes children are left at the school when the rest of the
children go an a field trip because they do not pay. If the City starts charging
these fees, they are setting it up for these kinds of situations.
Ms. Schnabel asked if this fee was just a method of collecting revenue for
programming and it was not necessary to collect the fee because of the amount of
time Mr, St. Clair is spending that keeps him away from oiher parts of his job
or because he cannot handle the present vo7ume?
Mr. Kondrick stated that was correct,
Mr. Kondrick stated it is just 7ike anything else. Wheneaer you play or partici-
pate in any type of organized programming, you have to pay for it. He did not
know why this type of programning should be excluded.
Ms. Schnabel stated the
a school field trip may
have to go.
problem is that those programs are voluntary; whereas,
be a scheduled thing in the school and the child would
Ms. Gabel stated that if there is such a demand for this type of programming,
why not charge people outside the Fridley school districts and not the school
districts within Fridley as the taxpayers are already paying for it2
Mr. Oquist stated he still did not see what was wrong with one function like that
helping to pay for itself. From a business standpoint, it was a good idea. He
stated the dollars collected can be used for all kinds of things in the park,
and it is not money that is going to be flushed down the drain.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. AUGUST 18, 1982 PAGE 4
Mr. Boardman stated they have to understand that there wi17 be some cuts.
There are some very serious financial difficulties because of state cutbacks.
Fee schedules are going to have to be raised for anything that is a specia]
activity.
Ms. 5chnabel stated that, at this point, she was not convineed there was a
problem financially. Mr. St. Clair's salary is being paid, it has been budgeted
fm, and he is doing his job, and she did not see the need for an extra fee at
this time. Maybe a need wil] be demonstrated in the future, but she did not
see that need yet.
Mr. Saba stated he had no problem with the fee concept, but his problem was with
any children who might be excluded from a field trip because of inability to pay
the $1. Ne stated maybe there should be some kind of communication from the
Parks & Recreation Department to the school system stating that no child would be
denied programming if they could not afford the $1, Then, no c6ild would be
required to stay at school in another class because he/she could not afford to go
on the field trip to the nature center.

Mr. Saba stated he would like to see a statement in the motion indicating that
there be some communication between the City and the schools that no child would
be-excluded because of inability to pay.

Mr. Kondrick stated there was some discussion on the part of the Parks &
Recreation Commission regarding the City's fundin9 the Northeast Chamher Ensemble
and the City Band. He stated the Commission will be meeting with the president
of the City Band �nd the manager of the Northeast Chamber Ensemble at their next
meeting in order to get some answers to some of the Corronissioners' questions.
Mr. Saba suggested they discuss the possibility of the band and chamber ensemble
members raising money through industry, rather than seeking city fundinq.

Mr. Kondrick stated the Parks & Recreation Commission made a motion on page 7
